Established in 1979 by Dr. George Atkins, when he retired from the CBC after 25 years of service, DCFRN was designed to gather information throughout the developing world that would be helpful to small scale farmers and to distribute it through a network of local rural broadcasters. Originally sponsored by Massey-Ferguson Limited, the organization is sponsored by CIDA, the International Development Research Centre and private donors.
